Topic: Choosing an AV Receiver

[Timithekid]

@Timithekid: thanks for stating the models. baka mabig-time ako ni misis kapag yun ang binili ko hehehe!!!

Happy to help bro, don't close your doors, you can try all sorts of AVR's. Onkyo is also pretty good too, and drives well for both HT and music aside from being value for money.  although even cnet has reported that it has some reliability issues.  Pioneer is bang for your buck too, and may elite series sila that can give onkyo,Denon, Marantz, Harman Kardon and Yamaha a run for their money. Good luck sa pagaudition bro, masaya na masakit sa ulo pero pagnabili mo na, sarap ng feeling...until makulam ka ng mga taga pinoydvd. Lol.

@Timithekid: will keep all the things you said in mind. especially sa kulam hehehe!!! thanks!

Pagkatapos mo bumili ng avr samahan mo si misis sa Coach or sa Kate Spade...kung 4311 katapat non LV na hehe...kailangan may suhol. Hahaha

[oReOsHaKe]

OT:

How is Power Input or wattage for a particular receiver calculated?  Is it Wattage = Power consumption in amp x voltage?  For example, for the US version Onkyo 3010, power consumption is 11.0 A, thus Wattage = 11 x 120 v = 1,320 watts?  Masyado yata malaki...

^ i believe it's better to post this question at the "Watts up with VA" thread...

@Timithekid: wahhh kailangan ko ng magtrabaho ng 7 days a week kung LV at 4311 hehehe!!! pero i learned my lesson before na di naman kailangan ng hi-end equipments para masatisfy ang viewing and listening pleasure ko. as long as you stick to your target budget and get the most out of it. para sa akin lang mas mararamdaman ko yung achievement nun at mas ok pa kapag maaapreciate ng iba yung setup mo within that specific budget, yung tipong magugulat sila na kapag sinabi mo yung total price nung setup =)

help me buy my 1st ever receiver. I'm eyeing the Pioneer VSX922, Onkyo NR515 (hopefully the hdmi issues on the 2012 models were already fixed by the last fw update) or konting tiis at ipon pa para NR616 na.

Gusto ko paunti-unti muna so walang center, sub adn surrounds muna kase wala pa budget, LOL!. So I'm eyeing a pair of FS na rin (balak ko Wharfedale 9.6 paired sa Pio at Polk Tsi400 sa Onkyo).

Comments naman po sa balak ko. I need suggestions as well.

Thanks!

How much po ba current budget nyo sir?

[seventhheaven]

How much po ba current budget nyo sir?

35K max na siguro sir sa receiver na sana yung model is somehow medyo future proof if possible (at syempre reliable at walang problems sa service if it needs one in the future). Minsan nga naiisip ko na babaan ko na lang kaya budget ko to around 20K or less kase alam naman natin that the technology continues to evolve at parang hindi praktikal na mag-invest sa receiver (like a cellphone wherein every now and then, new models with more features are released regularly and before you know it the receiver model that you just bought is down to just 20% of its value) at mas maganda na mag-invest na lang sa speakers

There's no such thing as future proof AVR...

Kung gusto mo "MEDYO" future proof, mag separates ka na lang. Mas malaki nga lang ang budget hehe! Saka yung term na "FUTURE PROOF" ay subjective. Lalo na kung madalas ka dito sa PDVD, eh walang meaning ang FUTURE PROOF.

For a 35K budget sa receiver you might want to consider a second hand/slightly used Onkyo 809 or Denon 3312. I know someone who is thinking of selling his Onkyo 809 which is in mint condition. For starters "Future Proof" na yang Onkyo 809 because it has sufficient power to drive entry level to mid floorstanders and also has pre-outs if you would want to get external power amps in the future.

Sa speakers naman audition mo muna the likes of Polk Audio, Paradigm, PSB, B&W, Mission, Klipsch. May mga series yang mga yan na budget friendly

[Tavus]

i would recommend the denon 3312 for its better reliability.

Kulang pa 35k sa 3312...

[Tavus]

Louie says you can get a used one for that price.

Oh, my bad, kala ko yung 809 lang yng avail at that price...7 series for the onkyo has pre outs too, baka maka mura si seventhheaven

[elim]

meron ako bro bnew 709 at 32k or you can get my personal unit around 2 months used at 26k (shameless plug)  both 110v. Thinking of upgrading eh hehe

[seventhheaven]

thanks for the input sirs.

this is tempting. I hope this is still available by December (13th month + bonus time! hehehe)

[m35ius]

hi someone's selling me his marantz sr7500. is this model good for music or for movies only?

[Nelson de Leon]

Receiver yan sir. Most receivers are good for movies. Secondary lang palagi ang music. pero knowing Marantz, i'm sure you'll be satisfied with music as well.

[m35ius]

ok thank you sir! audition ko muna since ok naman kausap yung seller at may money back guarantee kapag di ko daw nagustuhan. at ang laki pala nitong SR7500 =)

[titor]

Good day.

I need your opinions on an entry level receiver. I'm currenly using a Samsung HTIB that needs upgrading. And I just want to experience a poor man's home theater experience that would not cause too much trouble with the neighbors.  This will be used for Movies and Ps3 only. I will be sourcing this in the states since the mother in law sends balikbayan boxes with mostly un-usable stuff i'll just fill one with my toys.

Onkyo 414
Yamaha 373
Pioneer 822

to be paired with either of these speakers

Definitive Technology ProCinema 60
Polk Audio RM6750
Energy Take 5.1

Appreciate the help.

[raider125jeigh]

I'm a little bit skeptical about Onkyo having read the firmware issues from the reviews and as mentioned I'll be sourcing this in the US so its a little bit scary. Black Friday is just around the corner so if there are mid-high end on sale I might get it. i'll only be needing 5.1 because of space constraints.

You can try denon too, or marantz.

The 09 series of onkyo already had most of their bugs fixed already.

Gudpm...question lang po..ano po mga guideline in adjusting the channel level of speaker in receiver?ano po ba safe level?thx po...

[Nelson de Leon]

Basically there should all have the same SPL. However, i prefer the center channel slightly louder than the rest of the speakers (excluding sub).
